To Assemble
1. Pull yarn tight at the top of head and with a few stitches to secure.
2. Stuff body, do not overstuff.
3. Gather cast on edge of body and pull tight, loose yarn inside body.
For smaller pieces I prefer to darn end tails away and sew with sewing thread in a matching colour.
4. Sew wings to either side aprox 4cms (1.5ins) down from top of head.
5. Sew feet to base of body, sew along the icord of feet.
6. Sew around the edge of the white front attaching it onto body.
7. Fold beak in half lengthways and sew the two edges together, attach to front of face.
Sew buttons or beads for eyes. Alternatively embroider French Knots for eyes.
